It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month.

He’s also the creator of https://fedidb.org btw

    There are already hundreds of ways to PM stuff. Why do we need another?

      I don’t want to give strangers my personal cell, discord, twittter, whatever handle here publicly. If there is a need to exchange secret informatiom, how will you take this convo elsewhere?

        How is it that your Matrix handle is “personal” but your Sup. handle is not?

          I don’t have matrix?

          Anyway: Platform specific handle being “public” is not a problem. What is a problem (to me) is the association with other platforms I am on. No one besides those that actually should know it (hence PM), need to know it.

          Do I reuse my username on many platforms? Sure do.
          Do I need to tell you? Nope brother!

          Also: Why should I take my conversation from here to exchange confidential information than just letting it stay here?

            I don’t have matrix?

            My point, exactly.

            Why should I take my conversation from here to exchange confidential information than just letting it stay here?

            I’ve already answered that.
